Yeah, it came out in March or something for all platforms. It’s pretty fun, but really really janky. If you can get it got cheap and you have any interest, definitely check it out.
I traveled around the world, ignoring main quest, and when I returned to my hometown it was destroyed. I guess you are not the hero in Outward, but some random person living in a fantasy world
Yes, and that’s what makes it neat. Though, at least the storyline I did follow (there are three exclusive/distinct storylines), you do get wrapped up in world-shaping events. You aren’t the Savior or Prophecied One or anything, but big things happen around/involve you
We got owned by some electric shrimp and ended up pretty far across the map running from bandits and chickens (who stopped to fight each other). Camped out and logged off.
Yes, I did. I am in the camp that consider it a “flawed gem”, and look forward to the same team or others continuing these concepts in the future. It’s a true “Old School Revival” OSR RPG.
I picked this up based on recommendations and having a nightmare with it. Main menu refusing to show so I can’t even start a game. Can’t find any fixes online so I’ve decided to refund. Shame 'cause I love some old school RPG.
[Update]
It was the EPIC Game Launcher that was causing the problem! If you don’t run the game through their launcher it still runs but doesn’t display the main menu. Strange form of protection, but at least I can finally give this a try.

Sometimes I hate y’all with the way you can make a game sound so appealing and enjoyable. Because sometimes its a lie. This was one of those times :-(
“Asheron’s Call (jank included)” vastly undersells the issues - I say that as someone who adore(s/d) AC1. The combat is so so so janky bad. And hideous character models.
Yeah it’s Piranha games level jank. Not a pretty game. But the systems and the philosophy are interesting and I hope they are expanded upon in other (better) games. It’s not a mass market title with wide appeal. I enjoyed my time with it. :-)
